I enjoy the steel ride. It has personality and feel that only my titanium road bike can match. I've rented the aluminum HT and DS demo's with modern suspension and they feel dead in the feedback department. I will not do carbon fiber at all, Mtb or road. How in the world are you suppose to feel fibers suspended in glue********** I DO NOT RACE, I DO NOT HERO WORSHIP RACERS CARBON BIKES.
